Truly authentic an Japanese restaurant, their sushi rice is properly seasoned unlike most sushi restaurants today.

Jenny was our waitress and was such a sweetheart! We had a great time! The no name roll was the best and the ginger salad was the best I ever had

Always a delightful dining experience, whether lunch or dinner. I've been going to this restaurant for almost 30 years now and have not had a bad experience. The best sushi in Stamford!

Kotobuki is an authentic Japanese restaurant with excellent food and service. The head chef is the owner -- Masanori Sato, who goes informally by the moniker "Masa." Masa is always busy, behind the such bar, creating his excellent delicacies. My favorite is the sushi and sushi rolls -- always fresh and delicious. In addition to the traditional rolls, there are some wonderful in-house creations such as the Spicy Betty Roll, Lobster Roll (my wife's favorite), and my favorite, the Kevin Roll. The latter, in deference to the national color of Ireland, is spicy tuna wrapped in slices of tuna, fried, and covered with avocado (green, of course). The setting is not overdone, to say the least, but is very basic -- a variety of wooden tables surrounded by walls enhanced with various pieces of art appropriate to the cuisine and culture. The tables are separated by cloth partitions highlighting Japanese scenery. The table service is excellent, the staff is very accommodating, and shout-outs are certainly appropriate for Mr. Sato's wife (head waitress) and Jenny (one of the welcoming waitresses). Moreover, the dining room is very quiet, conducive to conversing with cohorts without the need to raise one's voice. It should be mentioned that Kotobuki remained open during the pandemic, serving both take-out meals AND in-house specialties.

I’ve always been told the best sushi will melt in your mouth, and the bad quality you will be chewing on endlessly. Atmosphere is great, service was great, and food was the best!

Visited during Restaurant Week for the sushi-sashimi bento box. It was a great meal, especially for the value! For $20 I got 4 slices of sashimi, 4 sushi, vegetable tempura, and a salad. The veggies were cooked perfectly - soft inside crunchy outside, and the fish was delightfully fresh!
I’m only here for a few days, but may swing by again because it was THAT GOOD

This place has the best sushi in Stamford! The meal started strong with flavorful dumplings that were seriously delicious. The spider roll was crispy and packed with flavor, and the tempura roll was another winner— light, fresh, and just the right amount of crunch. The salmon roll was good, but the other rolls definitely stole the show. The atmosphere was also dope.

I've dined here almost weekly since moving to the area 6 months ago. The food here is exceptional, both lunch and dinner. The service and prices are good too. I've eaten sushi in Japan, Korea, NYC, SF and LA. So I know good sushi!
